Justice Sonia Sotomayor Rules Sesame Street With Goldilocks v. Baby Bear (VIDEO)

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor gave her opinion on Goldilocks v. Baby Bear in a new video on the Sesame Street Youtube page.

Over a cup of coffee with her friend Maria, the first Hispanic on the high court -- who has served on the Supreme Court since her appointment by President Obama in August 2009 -- doled out some justice.

According to Baby Bear, Goldilocks came into his house, totally uninvited, sat in his chair and broke it.

How did the Justice rule?

After hearing both sides of the case, the Justice decided that Goldilocks would have to help repair the chair, and she told Baby Bear that "Goldilocks didn't mean to break the chair, and accidents do happen."

Up next, the three little pigs and a big bad wolf hash out a disagreement.

The 42nd season of Sesame Street will focus on science, math and engineering education.

What was it Sotomayer said about a "wise Latina?" Based on the protocol observed by all the other justices to have served on the Supreme Court, an appearance on a non-documentary television show is well beneath her dignity. This move was not wise.

Oh, no! Sesame Street must be liberal, or communist, or socialist, or something...

Someone FINALLY found a bench that Sotomayor is qualified to sit on...

[scandaliciousreserve]

SOTOMAYOR was $400,000.00 - FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND in debt - at the time that Obama announced her as his nominee.

Under any other circumstances, this would have prevented a nomination - or had the nomination withdrawn - once discovered.

A judge in that much debt - could be compromised.

You people are so very sad. Get a life please. I'm so looking forward to the future Sotomayor(s) on the bench.

Libs on this very site said the same thing about Marco Rubio and his finances.

Selective outrage on their part.

In other words, they are hypocritical.

So how about belonging to conservative organizations and not recusing yourself when in your court. Any compromise there?

Thank you Justice Sotomayor for appearing on Sesame Street. Your vision, hard work, preparation and commitment to service is a wonderful example for our children. Many young lives will be positively affected by this small gesture. It is never too early to plant the seeds of success and imagination in the minds of the little ones. Your position is a reminder of the tapestry that is America and what makes our country great.

Obviously, she cares nothing about the teaching of children that it is alright to:
1. Break into someones house
2. Trespass
3. Steal
Yea, I would say she is a typical liberal judge!

[Old Grady]

09:15 PM on 02/08/2012

I said the essentially the same in an earlier post, very respectfully, and my post was removed for "guidelines violations". I violated no guidelines and neither did you, but don't be surprised if your comment is removed (assuming they even allow my response to your comment).

[AMBoss]

09:48 PM on 02/08/2012

If they do remove it, it won't be the first time!

[Fracturedchaos]

11:31 AM on 02/13/2012

If the door was open,its not breaking, it could be considered trespass IF the bear held charges, but even that is minor since there was no actually "breaking" in.

It is really hard to steal something (ie the chair) when the other person has it in hand. Unless you are alluding to porridge, and frankly, who leaves that out on the table to go on a walk?

They don't have money on sesame street as far as I know, so repairing the destruction of property is probably more than apt.

But yeah I guess instead of thinking this was cute and funny little "judgement" on little bear v goldilocks which is based on a fairytale anyway, it is much better to take it seriously and call them a liberal. That's not partisan at all...

Is this what our Supreme Court has on its docket that is so important to the people?? These people are paid big bucks by us to waste our tax dollars and time with stupidity.

[scandaliciousreserve]

a US taxpayer-paid appearance - on Sesame Street - is exacty what the Obama Administration is all about.

[Fracturedchaos]

11:33 AM on 02/13/2012

I have a very hard time believing that PBS (public broadcasting station that the repubs tried to defund last year) paid taxpayer money to pay for an employee of the federal government to show up.

Keep on with you logic please, it is the giggles.
